Hi everyone,
Just a quick update this week as it’s still the Easter Holiday. I am hard at work preparing our re-ordering plans. We have a few events coming up that are worth taking note of:
Sunday 14th of April is the Farrington APCM
Friday 19th of April is the High Littleton Church cafe
Sunday 21st of April we have a guest speaker from the Children’s Society in Paulton
Sunday 28th of April is the Paulton APMC in the morning and also our High Littleton Family church in the afternoon.
Have a great Easter break and I will catch you again on Sunday hopefully.
I hope you have a great Easter and see you soon.
If you want to continue tracking with some of the sermon ideas as they develop I have included some more links to useful content that can help to keep us on the same 'wavelength'. This week, I have a new book for my birthday that I would recommend very highly, relating the current condition on Evangelical Christianity in America:
The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism
the wonderful story of Henry Sugar
How religion shaped politics in the western world
The Bulwark on Christian Nationalism (featuring Rob Reiner)
Robert Sapolsky on 'free will'
Extract from 'Things Hidden' by Richard Rohr
Zephania 3:14-20, 1 John 3:1-7 and Luke 24:36-48
See all below for all the other details of our groups and upcoming events.
Next Sunday we will be meeting at 9.30 in Farrington and 11am at in Paulton
If you want to access resources in the meantime, we have a wealth of materials available.
You can use the YouTube link to get yourself tuned up and ready to sing with us on Sunday.
If you don't feel able to attend in person, we will continue to provide online worship options as well. The link to Twitch is at the bottom of this email.
Knit and Natter meet in the back room of Paulton church on the first Wednesday of each month from 2 to 4pm.
The next meeting is on Wednesday 1 st May 2024.
Everyone is welcome to come along and join the group, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a cake and have a good natter!
TGIF is on every Friday and Monday from 10am to 11.30am for coffee, cake, playtime and good chatting - you can find the latest details on Facebook here. (Not during the school holidays)
Morning prayer is taking place at 9.30am Wednesday in Paulton and Thursday in High Littleton. It begins with 15 minutes of quiet reflection, followed by Common Worship morning prayer.
The Church of England have updated their Morning Prayer APP. You can now listen to morning prayer from the app. I would encourage you all to take this up as a daily practice, it is a great way to grow a pattern of prayer and learn the rhythm of responses each day.
You can download the app here: https://www.chpublishing.co.uk/apps/daily-prayer

Every blessing to you all.
